Mama needs support? Mamas for Mamas is a national charitable organization with a branch right here in the West Kootenay. The organization supports mothers and caregivers in crisis by providing ongoing support to individuals and families facing various poverty-related struggles. Its mission is to change the landscape of poverty through innovative approaches to financial barriers faced by struggling families. While the name is Mamas for Mamas, it welcomes caregivers of any gender identity or expression, including men, trans*, non-binary, and two-spirit clients. They envision a future where no Mama or child is left behind. It’s hard enough being a parent without the stress of clothing or food insecurity, lack of appropriate mental health care, and everything else that can easily fall through the cracks in our busy society. Mamas for Mamas is there for those parents who need help navigating eligible resources, applying for social supports, and getting direct intake support while joining this Mamas community that genuinely looks after each other. To connect with this group, visit their Facebook page Mamas for Mamas - West Kootenays Mama for Mamas Allison Edgar Law is taking new clients now. With 8 years of family law experience in <strong>Nelson</strong>, Allison has now opened her own practice.
